Power window regulators fail on 2004 vw beetle conertible rear windows. I have replaced 2 of tm so far in 50,000 miles. The first one was $375 for the parts only and now they have decided to increase that price to $672! it is absolutely ridiculous that they charge that much for a faulty part and the new ones are no better. If I pay the dealership to install it, it is at least $1,200. Something needs to be done!.

2004 vw New Beetle Convertible. Vehicle has 39,000 miles and is recently out of warranty. Dealer service told me me that driver's side front window regulator is bad and needs to be replaced. Given the number of complaints entered regarding these window regulators, the manufacturer should replace them free of charge! how does a window regulator fail on a four-year-old car with 39000 miles?!?!?!?.
2003 vw beetle convertible rear window regulator failure with approx 23,000 miles on car. Both rear windows regulators have failed in the past year allowing the rear windows to fall down into the car with a very loud noise which could easily distract the driver. Once it has fallen down it cannot be raised and could cause problems in a very cold or hot environment. Vw has extended the warranty on the front windows but has done nothing about the rear window failures.
